On one hand we should get the money into the banks and out from under the mattresses. But on the other hand our society hinges on rules. Everyone else must be valid and obtain the legal documents. I think in the end it will be a good thing. I don't think the problem relies in banking. The problem relies in the judicial system. Let the politicians sort things out. Let everyone else just live...

However, I am against people having Credit Cards without valid SSNs.

Really unless you're fully Native American, everyone in this country is an immigrant. I understand the concern with people who can't repay their debts, but the truth of the matter is that if people are allowed to put the cash they earn into banks, it's better for you, the "privileged American citizen" since your economy will flourish. Maybe some people should study economics more closely. In addition, for people who use banks so often, you understand how important it is to you to use a bank-why deny another human that idea? Why do people have this notion that some are more "privileged" than others? These people are the people who do the menial jobs in this country, the jobs you "Americans" don't want because you're too busy trying to become doctors and lawyers and CEOs and what not. That's all I have to say.

Someone stated that they have a problem with BOA giving out credit cards without a SSN. Do you know that by law they you are not required to have a SSN? Apparently their lawyers know this. Did you know that the SSN is property of the Social Security Administration and was not to be used as a type of identification? In all truth the SSN was setup for federal employers and employees, which most Americans are not. And here is a quick bit of information for you, most people that live in the 50 states of the union are not U.S. citizens either, but nationals (but not U.S. citizens.) People of America, we need to know the laws, rather than assume we know them. Bank of America is doing nothing illegal or wrong. In fact, if they are allowing people to open accounts without SSN's they are following the laws as they should. Bank Of America is only providing services that they are supposed to provide.

Don't these banks make enough money. The banks make a record breaking 17.1 billion last year in over the limit and late fees alone. Can you just imagine how much more they could make if you throw in uneducated individuals who don't know how to use credit with their credit cards. They would make even more of a killing in fees. I'm kind of surprised that this is just happening now. I agree this is outrageous. Don’t these banks make enough money.

Not just B.O.A. but any bank or business that help encourage illegals that could be potential terrorist take advantage of social security, abuse our health care, and bleed our country of our sources. If the goverment had any spine they would enforce a law that would bring a heavy disciplinary action if not prison for any one supporting illegals. We the American people carry the brunt from these people in more wayus then one. I am looking to find a bank that does not offer services to illegals as I want to close all account with B.O.A..
